Bodman, Lake Constance, Germany on a cold day.
The picture shows one of the locations that I am drawn to several times a year, especially in the early and late seasons. I especially like it when there are no boats here and the whole area is completely deserted. In winter on Lake Constance, you never know for sure whether it was another pandemic that finally allowed nature to rest, or whether a zombie apocalypse has taken place and we are, of course, the last to find out. Personally, I always discover the beauty of slowness here, without sailing boats, surfboards and tourists. The latter jump around here like they've been bitten by a monkey. Which raises the question again of what was actually going on here... ;)
Im Bild sieht man eine der Locations, zu denen ich mich mehrmals im Jahr hingezogen fühle. Besonders in der Vor- und der Nachsaison. Ich mag es ganz besonders, wenn hier keine Boote liegen und die ganze Gegend völlig ausgestorben ist. Man weiß im Winter am Bodensee nie so ganz genau, ob es nun wieder eine Pandemie war, die die Natur endlich ruhen lässt oder ob nun doch eine Zombie-Apokalypse stattgefunden hat, und wir natürlich wieder die letzten sind, die es erfahren. Ich persönlich entdecke hier stets die Schönheit der Langsamkeit, ohne Segelboote, Surfbretter und Touristen. Letztere springen hier ja herum, wie vom Affen gebissen. Was erneut die Frage aufwirft, was hier eigentlich los war…;)
Thank you for your visits, faves and comments!

Dans la forêt de Haute-Sève un rocher à la forme étrange et attirante se détache de la végétation qui l'entoure. Le visage d'un être ancien semble émerger du sol.
The forms of the landscape on this ridge were either beautiful or bizarre.
It was strange to peer at the sky through the small opening on the left. From certain angles I could see distant landmarks through the opening.
The mangled shrub remnant on the right couldn't have been any more fitting for the place. It had just that certain feeling of character and history to it.
The different colors hint at the varied ages of the original deposit before the canyon was formed by the Colorado River. G
The sculpture “Head” at Eggum, Lofoten, by the Swiss artist Markus Raetz is a part of Artscape Nordland.
The Head changes its form many times as you walk around it; from certain points of view, the Head is right side up, from others it is upside down.

Puerta Sur Angkor Thom-Siem Reap-Camboya.
Angkor Thom está ubicada al lado del río Siem Reap y se halla fortificada por una muralla que, formando un rectángulo de 9 km2 (es decir 3 km por lado), se orienta hacia los puntos cardinales. Su nombre significa "Gran Ciudad" y se mantuvo como capital desde 1181 al menos hasta el siglo XVII.
La puerta sur de Angkor Thom es la puerta de entrada más frecuente al templo debido a su disposición ya que enlaza directamente con la carretera que vá a Angkor Wat.
La Puerta Sur está representada por 4 cabezas cada una en dirección a los 4 puntos cardinales representando a divinidades como Brahma (dios hindú), la cara del rey considerada otra divinidad también se encuentra representada en esta puerta al igual que Buda. En la parte inferior se pueden ver varias figuras de Erawan (elefante sagrado)
Todas las entradas son precedidas por un puente que cruza el canal que rodea la ciudad. Cada puente está custodiado por dos filas de figuras gigantes que empujan unas enormes nagas. A la izquierda los dioses y a la derecha los demonios luchando para crear el primigenio Mar de Leche.
Buckfast Abbey forms part of an active Benedictine monastery at Buckfast, near Buckfastleigh, Devon. Buckfast has been home to an abbey since 1018. The first Benedictine abbey was followed by a Savignac (later Cistercian) abbey constructed on the site of the current abbey in 1134. The monastery was surrendered for dissolution in 1539, with the monastic buildings stripped and left as ruins, before being finally demolished. The former abbey site was used as a quarry, and later became home to a Gothic mansion house.
In 1882 the site was purchased by a group of French Benedictine monks, who refounded a monastery on the site, dedicated to Saint Mary. New monastic buildings and a temporary church were constructed incorporating the existing Gothic house. Work on a new abbey church, which was constructed mostly on the footprint of the former Cistercian abbey, started in 1907. The church was consecrated in 1932 but not completed until 1938.
Buckfast was formally reinstated as an Abbey in 1902, and the first abbot of the new institution, Boniface Natter, was blessed in 1903. The abbey continues to operate as a Benedictine foundation today.

En la provincia de La Rioja. Forma parte de la cuenca geológica “Talampaya / Ischigualasto” y comparte con dichos parques características paisajísticas, geológicas y culturales. Su nombre evoca el sonido que produce el viento al circular entre las formaciones rocosas. Se creó en el año 2002 para preservar los recursos de la zona.
El recorrido por el parque se desarrolla a lo largo de tres circuitos, de los cuales sólo una parte se realiza en vehículo. El resto del recorrido se realiza mediante caminatas de baja o media dificultad, en todos los casos con el acompañamiento de una persona experta conocedora del parque (denominada baqueano), que actúa informalmente como guía.
Las curiosas formas producto de la erosión, diferentes geoformas, fueron nombradas espontáneamente por los pobladores cercanos, sobre la base de la similitud de su aspecto con objetos o animales. Estudios recientes dan cuenta de una importante riqueza arqueológica, considerando el número de hallazgos y su diversidad. Se destacan las áreas de morteros comunitarios tallados en piedra, múltiples y variadas estructuras. Es posible avistar al vigía de los cerros y quebradas, El Cóndor Andino, especia que cruza el cielo riojano y se puede admirar su vuelo en este Parque Natural, disfrutando del espectáculo que nos ofrece.

The sedimentary rocks formed in the Upper Cretaceous that occur in the region of Torotoro, Bolivia, belong to the El Molino Formation, which can be divided into three members due to their distinct lithologic characteristics. The lower member consists of carbonate rocks, the intermediate member by siliciclastic and mixed rocks, and the upper, by carbonate rocks. These association of rocks occur as the upper strata of the Torotoro Syncline, a 45 km long and 9.5 km wide feature well preserved in the dynamic of Andean tectonic.

Eye candy flavors include lines, forms, colors, patterns, repetition, contrast, textures, and angles. I tried to include them all in this fun, grab shot outside of our favorite wine store. And for a change of pace it was shot as a JPEG. I could say it reminds me of a chorus line but that could get me locked up. : ))
Située au fond de la reculée de Baume-les-Messieurs, qui est l’une des plus célèbres du Jura, la cascade est remarquable à bien des égards. L’eau de la cascade vient de la rivière souterraine le Dard qui sort de terre après un parcours tumultueux au cœur des grottes.
L’eau qui jaillit ici est pure et limpide, et sort dans un environnement verdoyant et lumineux, créant ainsi des couleurs somptueuses.
Une des particularités de cette cascade est la composition géologique de la roche qui forme les reliefs de la cascade. C’est de la roche de tuf, extrêmement chargée en calcaire, qui présente un aspect volatile et léger.
Blurred, but still my best (most complete) shot of Barbara Hepworth' sculpture (plaster, 1958). Seen in the Barbara Hepworth Museum in St. Ives, Cornwall. When I say "complete" I mean to be as close as possible to the sculptor's ability to let the sea speak through her. The weather and light that day were very poor and I also was not well enough to keep the camera still. Yet, the formidable power of the sculpture will hopefully get through.

Sastrugi
Sastrugi, or zastrugi, are features formed by erosion of snow by wind. They are found in polar regions, and in snowy, wind-swept areas of temperate regions, such as frozen lakes or mountain ridges. Sastrugi are distinguished by upwind-facing points, resembling anvils, which move downwind as the surface erodes. These points usually lie along ridges parallel to the prevailing wind; they are steep on the windward side and sloping to the leeward side. Smaller irregularities of this type are known as ripples (small, ~10 mm high) or wind ridges.
Large sastrugi are troublesome to skiers and snowboarders. Traveling on the irregular surface of sastrugi can be very tiring, and can risk breaking equipment—ripples and waves are often undercut and the surface is hard and unforgiving, with constant minor topographic changes between ridge and trough.
Etymology
The words sastrugi and zastrugi are Russian-language plurals; the singular is zastruga. The form sastruga started as the German-language transliteration of the Russian word заструга (plural: заструги).
A Latin-type analogical singular sastrugus is used in various writings on exploration of the South Pole, including Robert Falcon Scott's expedition's diaries and Ernest Shackleton's The Heart of the Antarctic.
Formation mechanism
White and black colors on sastrugi are not lights and shadows, they demonstrate difference in radioreflectivity of snow deposits on the windward and leeward sides of a sastruga.
Under the action of steady wind, free snow particles accumulate and drift like the sand grains in barchan dunes, and the resulting drifting snow shapes are also popularly referred to as barchans. Inuit of Canada call them kalutoqaniq. When winds slacken, the drifted formations consolidate via sublimation and recrystallization. Subsequent winds erode kalutoqaniq into the sculptured forms of sastrugi. Inuit call large sculpturings kaioqlaq and small ripples tumarinyiq. Further erosion may turn kaioqlaq back into drifting kalutoqaniq. An intermediate stage of erosion is mapsuk, an overhanging shape. On the windward side of a ridge, the base erodes faster than the top, producing a shape like an anvil tip pointing upwind.
On sea ice
Sastrugi are more likely to form on first-year sea ice than on multiyear ice. First-year ice is smoother than multiyear ice, which allows the wind to pass uniformly over the surface without topographic obstructions. Except during the melt season, snow is dry and light in climates cold enough for sea ice, allowing the snow to be easily blown and create sastrugi parallel to the wind direction. The locations of sastrugi are fixed by March in the northern hemisphere and may be linked to the formation of melt ponds. Melt ponds are more likely to form in the depressions between sastrugi on first-year ice.

Este castillo en realidad está formado por dos: el castillo viejo, fortaleza árabe parcialmente conservada, y el Palacio de los Álvarez de Toledo, condes de Oropesa, del siglo XV, convertido en Parador Nacional. Su escalinata de piedra es única en España.
El castillo viejo fue erigido por los árabes entre los siglos XII y XIII, sobre una fortaleza romana. De planta rectangular y con cuatro torres circulares en las esquinas, sólo conserva dos de ellas.
El castillo nuevo fue erigido en el siglo XV, y en su interior hay una gran plaza, antiguo patio de armas, y escenario de actividades culturales. Desde allí puede subirse, por una rampa escalonada, al adarve y a las torres, y disfrutar de la impresionante escalinata. Su torre del homenaje, de cinco plantas, está rematada por garitas defensivas, con saeteras, y almenas para armas de diferentes clases. En ella podemos apreciar aún el escudo heráldico de los Álvarez de Toledo, moradores del palacio.
Apparu sous sa forme définitive en 1946, le Yak-11, sorti de l’établissement constitué en 1933 par l’ingénieur soviétique Alexandre Sergeyevich Yakovlev, est un biplace d’entraînement à la chasse pourvu d’un moteur en étoile Shvetsov de 570 ch. Fabriqué à 3 859 exemplaires en URSS et à 707 exemplaires en Tchécoslovaquie (type C-11, dans les usines de Kunovice), cet appareil a équipé les armées de l’air de nombreux pays de l’Est.

Back form a great holiday in Switzerland and Italy. A lot of people fly a long way from home during the summer, but forget that Europe has so much to give.
Our last stop was Cinque Terre. A famous spot that I always wanted to visit. Yes it was crowded, but if you hike a bit, you loose most of the crowds. As a photographer always the challenge to make a unique shot on a very popular photo location. I tried my best, especially using different foregrounds. Hope you enjoy and more to follow.
I always really appreciate your favs and comments.
